We need the right attitude and the right motivation - that can decide the match above everything else.Collection: Attitude
To become a great player, you've got to show real dedication and commitment to football, and you've got to be very humble and hard-working. And, above all, you've got to fight to make your dreams come true.Collection: Great
We will respect all our opponents, as we always do.Collection: Respect
I wake up every day with a smile, and in that sense, I feel the same as I did when I arrived at Real Madrid in 2005.Collection: Smile
Being the captain is a great privilege and a responsibility to lead a great group with different cultures.Collection: Great
I'm a very temperamental person, but when you are wearing the captain's armband for Real Madrid or the national team, it's best to express yourself in a different way. You have to maintain a sense of unity - a good atmosphere where everyone feels happy is one of the keys to success, and that's something you shouldn't lose.Collection: Success
There are no words to describe the Clasico. It is totally different and the most important game in the world.
Since Carlo Ancelotti has arrived, he had emphasised hard work and intensity, and now that is what Real Madrid are associated with. He has playing experience, which makes him different to other coaches.
It's true that when I started out, I was more a fan of attacking players and one in particular: the Brazilian Ronaldo, Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima. Another of my idols was Claudio Caniggia, an Argentinian forward with long hair, who I liked a lot. It's because of him that I started to grow my hair long!
Real Madrid go for everything right from the start of the season. They always fight for the three competitions.
We all know the demands at this club, but I'm ready for this responsibility to make sure every Madridista is happy.
At the end of the day, the players and the coach have to talk - that's what consolidates the relationship.
There are sometimes easier games and others harder, but the Champions League always requires enormous concentration.
The team needs a leader to handle everything with rules and constant stability. Mourinho is the ideal man for that job, and we are delighted about it.
I think Totti would've had no problem playing in another big club. He's a born hitman, and great players always find a way to fit into a team.
When the list is made of the all-time best players, Totti will certainly be in there. I really believe he will be remembered as one of the greats.
I think about those who supported me and put up with me, including my wife, my children, my parents, and all Madridistas.
I don't care whether I play on the right or in the centre. All I want is for the coach to have faith in me.
I always said that when Madrid win, it wasn't just because of Ronaldo, Kaka, or another, and when you lose, it is not fair to blame the failures on these people alone.
I know the English fans will treat players as they deserve, and I'm not worried about that in the slightest.
